About this video

Driven for the last fifty years by the TV narrative, marketing is now
being transformed by the digital age. And in this new economy, companies
are looking for ways to advertise with an impact that lasts beyond the
end of a media budget. Droga5 is on the forefront of this new
marketing-entertainment hybrid, and is not only revolutionizing the way
companies advertise, but is also rapidly changing the way the public
thinks about advertising. Droga5 founder and creative chairman David
Droga shares his company’s most successful and memorable digital and
interactive campaigns, and discusses why companies not only need to
change the way they think about selling their brand but also need to be
focused on making a positive contribution to the world around them.
